Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Conventional political narratives present the confrontation with the Ottoman Empire and the sieges of Vienna as part of Austria’s national heritage. The seminary looks at traces and counter stories, problematizing the monuments relating to the sieges of Vienna and highlighting the historic presence of Ottoman subjects and Muslims in Vienna’s public space. Monuments, archives, and collections shall be scrutinized by asking on the one hand, when the monuments related to the Ottoman siege were erected and by whom? And on the other hand, looking for alternative landmarks telling the stories of diplomacy, migration, and mobility. The block-seminar includes readings, presentations, museum visits, and excursions in the city. At a methodological level, the seminar also questions what a monument is: can it be a textile, a fragment, or even a poem? What are the sources we can use to retrace and question the Ottoman presence in Vienna? The visibility, invisibility, or invisibilization of traces and the ways of writing (art) histories in that context will be at the core of our thinking.
